Selling a Transformer in Cayce
We buy surplus, used and failed electrical transformers in Cayce, SC and throughout Lexington County. Padmount, oil-filled, dry-type, pole-mount and substation-class units from 15 kVA to 100 MVA, in any condition — working, de-energized, surplus or internally failed. Send a photograph of the nameplate and we will price the unit the same day. Every purchase includes the freight and the rigging at our cost.
Transformer supply across South Carolina
Utility territory in and around Cayce is served by Dominion Energy South Carolina, Duke Energy Progress, Santee Cooper, Central Electric Cooperative, and the equipment those systems retire tends to be standard voltage-class distribution gear with good documentation. Beyond the utilities, South Carolina generates transformer turnover through automotive assembly at Greer, aerospace manufacturing in Charleston, tire plants across the Upstate, chemical and fiber production along the Pee Dee, and the Port of Charleston. For freight we run I-85, I-26, I-20 and I-95 with the Port of Charleston handling our export and heavy-lift freight. One more thing worth knowing: South Carolina is one of our strongest states: the Upstate automotive and tire corridor, the Charleston aerospace cluster and the Florence-area industrial base all turn over medium-voltage transformers regularly.
A small community is not too small to sell
We regularly buy equipment out of communities the size of Cayce. Co-op service centers, grain and agricultural processing sites, small municipal utilities and rural industrial plants all accumulate transformers that nobody has ever offered a serious number on. Distance does not reduce our offer — we cover the freight and the rigging into Lexington County the same way we would into a metro.
Lot buying and route consolidation
Where the economics genuinely improve for both of us is quantity. A pallet of pole-mount cans behind a service center, a row of retired padmounts along a fence line, a mixed pile of unknown units — aggregated, that is a trailer load worth real money, and we will send the equipment to load it.
Removal and Value
What our crew brings to Cayce
A removal in Cayce is scoped from your photographs before anyone mobilizes, so the crew arrives with the right equipment rather than improvising. Depending on the unit that means a boom truck or rough-terrain forklift for a padmount, machine skates and stair gear for an indoor dry-type, or a hydraulic crane and multi-axle lowboy for station-class equipment. We bring rigging hardware, spill containment sized to the unit's oil volume, and our own insurance certificates naming your entity. You provide site access and a de-energized, disconnected unit; we do the rest.
Why lead times work in your favor
New transformer lead times have stayed long enough that used and surplus equipment holds unusually firm value. Buyers who need capacity in months rather than years will pay for a tested used unit. That demand is what lets us cover the crane, the riggers and the freight out of Cayce and still write you a real check — the equipment is genuinely worth recovering rather than merely worth hauling away.
Equipment We Buy in Cayce
Pole-Mount Transformers
Single-phase and three-phase overhead distribution transformers, 5 kVA to 500 kVA. This is a volume item — we buy them by the pallet and by the trailer load out of utility and co-op surplus programs.
5 kVA – 500 kVA25–40 complete lineups per yearUnit Substations
Complete primary-transformer-secondary lineups: incoming section, transformer, and low-voltage switchgear or switchboard bolted as one assembly. We buy them whole and we buy them by the section.
300 kVA – 5000 kVA60–90 cast-coil units per yearCast-Coil Transformers
Epoxy-encapsulated cast-coil units built for harsh, humid and high-load environments. Because they were expensive new and are durable used, they hold value better than any other dry-type.
300 kVA – 10 MVACayce Questions
